My new 2014 S550 4M

Currently own a 2013 750Li, and test drove the 2014 Bentley Flying Spur, this car is easily the best car I have yet to own. Look forward to contributing to this forum.

Agreed. MB has definitely upped the ante with this new S Class. Jumping back into my 2013 7, that interior feels ancient

Congrats and welcome aboard!!! I'm also a previous owner of a 745 & 750, but the Benz was a sweet change.

very nice congratulations.

We lost our F10 M5 shop car to a truck a few months ago. Been thinking about picking up a New S class or maybe even pre order the coupe = )

The 2013 750li definetly has more pull through out the rev range and begs you to gun it almost all the time. The S has a much smoother ride and looks like a mini Maybach. Can't go wrong with either.

Personally the 7 is a beast to drive in my opinion, however they took a step backwards on interior styling and reliability. The S-Class is similar in aggression, however not the same type of beast as the bmw. The S-Class interior and design is far superior especially now with the 222.
